    Was on the Taylor Wings website the other day,saw they have an under trailer wing that directs the air underneath the trailer's suspension. I dunno, looks like it could complicate handling problems on slick surfaces. Then again, maybe they'll reduce weight and wear on the tires. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it. Anybody got any experience with that style wing?

    I don't like working in trucks with skirting , it's more of a pain to inspect and grease. Have to take it off to pull a tranny and bell housing off. And personally I don't really like the looks on 97% of the trucks with them

    The side skirts that go on the side of the trailers are the worse thing.The inventors forgot to include the real world situations in there product.My company bought over 60 new trailers with side skirts and all of them are damaged.They don't even put it down as a accident anymore just a part failure.They are now ordering trailers with the under skirt set up hope that works out better.:biggrin_25513:
